[quote=Anonymous]DC (always one of the younger kids in her grade) did a gap year and it was fantastic for her. Really helped her mature and hit the ground running at school. I highly recommend. But I do not recommend waiting to apply to schools until the gap year. It’s unbelievable how quickly high school fades away after graduation, and how distant from teachers, college counselors, etc. a kid feels (and I assume the same is true in reverse). Go through the process. Give DC a range of options. Pick one, then ask for a deferral. Schools don’t guarantee, but if you have a plan and ask soon after committing l, they rarely say no. My kid’s deferral was approved within 2 hours. You can always change your mind, but in the meantime, there’s a solid option waiting. [/quote]
